Target Sectors

Asset Classes

Wellingo targets high-quality physical assets with durable long-term demand. Acceptable asset classes include:

  • Real Estate & Infrastructure: Office buildings, retail, industrial sites, service stations, hotels, and universities.

  • Public & Social Assets: Hospitals, schools, prisons, police/railway stations, courts, and municipal infrastructure.

  • Logistics & Equipment: Ports, airport facilities, shipping, aircraft, telco networks, and major plant/machinery.

Capital Structure & Benefits

Wellingo is a low-leveraged group and seeks only conservative income.

  • Pricing Flexibility: we are not price-sensitive provided yield and counterparty criteria are satisfied. Vendors may elect to transact at the higher of independent valuations, requiring no principal guarantees beyond timely rent payments.

  • Capital Upgrades: For depreciating assets and plant equipment, we offer advance funding for up to two upgrades during the lease term to preserve operational utility.

  • Senior Debt Co-Investment: For highly leveraged developments (e.g., mines or mills), our equity can serve as the final funding layer alongside senior bank debt, potentially incorporating a profit-share component.

  • Buyback Rights: Vendors receive first right of repurchase at lease end (or prior, subject to financial break-costs) under a pre-agreed pricing formula.

Liberating Capital for Balance-Sheet Growth

Structured buy-back rights, capital pre-funding for asset upgrades, and zero required vendor principal guarantees — delivering conservative, inflation-protected income over 20 years.
